The GOP is a threat to humanity
Both sides are. Peacefully protest, but once you block the roads where working people have to head home, don't expect not to be in grave danger. Simple. Blocking roads can only tick people off even more than they are already.
Is that the hardcore centrism you believe in?
F**k, you'd allow a genocide if it got rid of an inconvenience for you.
I am a hardcore centrist, but you don't make like miserable for people who have nothing to do with the protests. It's simple. Protest in the parks. People are in no mood for BS when coming home from work to be blocked for hours for a political protest.
I have always opposed blocking roads, but if threats like this are used I will support it. Civility built on fear is not civility but terror. Better the entire country is stuck in traffic for a whole day, than people be too afraid to act out of fear of being executed.
